into the pan will tend to accumulate at the rear, because of the inclined bottom of the pan, and may be readily collected by a helper without interfering with the operator, who is engaged at the front of the machine.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is 1. The combination of a base of a machine tool, a pan mounted upon and surrounding the base and having a bottom inclined downwardly from the front toward the rear of the base.

2, The combination of an integral base and pan of a machine tool, the pan surrounding the base and having a bottom inclined downwardly from the front toward the rear.

3. The combination of a pan and a base of a machine tool, the pan being upon and surrounding the base, having a bottom inclined downwardly from the front toward the rear and having its rear side of greater depth than the front side and having ends tapering from the rear side to the front side.

In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names this 30th day of December, 1919. 7
